Cassandra Austin LIKE MOTHER

Secrets, lies, and crying babies; everyone has a breaking point.

It’s 1969 and mankind has leapt to the moon, but a young mother in small-town Australia can’t get past the kitchen door. Louise Ashland – is exhausted – her husband, Steven, is away on the road and her mother, Gladys, won't leave her alone. At least her baby, Dolores, has finally stopped screaming and is sweetly sleeping in her cot. Right where Louise left her. Or is she?

As the day unravels, Louise will unearth secrets her mother – and perhaps her own mind – have worked hard to keep buried. But what piece of family lore is so terrible that it has been kept hidden all this time? And what will exposing it reveal about mother and daughter?

Like Mother explores what is handed down from generation to generation, and asks us whether a woman’s home is her castle or her cage.

Cassandra Austin is a homesick Australian who lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children. The author of two previous novels with Penguin Random House Australia, she worked as a criminologist and documentary film-maker, before deciding to pursue a career in writing. She is currently working with her husband, Adam Simon, co-creator of the TV show Salem, on a new TV pitch.

" Fantastically good—dark yet compellingly upbeat, and insanely suspenseful ... Even the twists have twists." —Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A kidnapped girl survived twelve nightmarish years.

Now she's safely back home . . . or is she?

Jenny Kristal was six years old when she was snatched off the sidewalk in her quiet suburban neighborhood. Twelve years later, she's miraculously returned home after escaping her kid- nappers—but as her parents and younger brother welcome her back, the questions begin to mount. Where has she been all these years? Why is she back now? And is home really the saf- est place for her . . . or for any of them?

Scott Carson THE CHILL

"Wow! This is one terrific horror/suspense/disaster novel. Characters you root for and a story that grips from the first page."— Stephen King

“Horror has a new name and it’s Scott Carson. The Chill is an eerie dive into the murky depths of the supernatural. A story that has you looking back over your shoulder on every page.” — Michael Connelly In this terrifying thriller, a supernatural force—set in motion a century ago—threatens to dev- astate New York City.

Far upstate, in New York’s ancient forests, a drowned village lays beneath the dark, still waters of the Chilewaukee reservoir. Early in the 20th century, the town was destroyed for the greater good: bringing water to the millions living downstate. Or at least that’s what the politicians from Manhattan insisted at the time. The local families, settled there since America’s founding, were forced from their land, but they didn’t move far, and some didn’t move at all…

Now, a century later, the repercussions of human arrogance are finally making themselves known. An inspector assigned to oversee the dam, dangerously neglected for decades, witnesses something inexplicable. It turns out that more than the village was left behind in the waters of the Chill when it was abandoned. The townspeople didn’t evacuate without a fight. A dark prophecy remained, too, and the time has come for it to be fulfilled. Those who remember must ask themselves: who will be next? For sacrifices must be made. And as the dark waters begin to inexorably rise, the demand for a fresh sacrifice emerges from the deep...

Scott Carson is the pen name for New York Times bestselling author who has also written scripts for Fox, Universal, and Amazon Studios. He lives in New England.

S.D. Chrostowska THE EYELID

“A quick-witted and thoughtful philosophical parable that falls somewhere between Camus and Gaiman’s Sandman universe.” — Kirkus

Our unnamed, dream-prone narrator finds himself following Chevauchet, a diplomat of Oniri- ca, a foreign republic of dreams, to resist the prohibition. On a mission to combat the state’s drugging of citizens with uppers for greater productivity, they traverse an eerie landscape in an everlasting autumn, able to see inside other people’s nightmares and dreams.

As Comprehensive Illusion – a social media–like entity that hijacks creativity – overtakes the masses, Chevauchet weakens and disappears, leaving our narrator to take up the old radical’s dictum that ‘daydreaming is directly subversive’ and forge ahead on his own. In slippery, ex- hilarating, and erudite prose, The Eyelid revels in the camaraderie of free thinking that can only happen on the lam, aiming to rescue a species that can no longer dream.

S. D. Chrostowska is Professor of Humanities and Social & Political Thought at York Univer- sity, Toronto. She is the author of Permission: A Novel and Matches: A Light Book.

Suzanne Daniel A GIRL IN THREE PARTS

“Allegra drew me into her life from the first page and I didn’t want to leave. Funny, smart, tender and wise, this is a book to curl up with by the fire or basking on the beach. I loved it. “ —Liz Byrski, author of A Month of Sundays

A story of sisterhood, solidarity, and finding your place in a changing world, A Girl in Three Parts is part Eighth Grade, part Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, and entirely original.

Allegra Elsom is caught in the middle. Some days she’s eleven, and others she feels closer to nineteen. Some days she knows too much, and others she feels hopelessly naive. Some days she is split in three, torn between conflicting loyalties to her grandmothers, Matilde and Joy, and her father, Rick–none of whom can stand to be in a room together since the decades-old tragedy that hit their family like a wrecking ball.

Allegra struggles to make peace in her family and navigate the social gauntlet at school while asking bigger questions about her place in the world: What does it mean to be “liberated”? What is it about “becoming a woman” that earns her a slap in the face? What does it mean to do the right thing, when everyone around her defines it differently?

As the feminist movement reshapes her Sydney suburb, Allegra makes her own path– discovering firsthand the incredible ways that women can support each other, and finding strength within herself to stand up to the people she loves.

Shortlisted for the Indie Book Award for Debut Fiction 2020, readers will not soon forget Su- zanne Daniel’s poignant debut, or the spirit of sisterhood that sings out from its pages.

Suzanne Daniel grew up in 1970s Yowie Bay and worked as a journalist for ABC TV, The Syd- ney Morning Herald, and in communications roles for The United Nations, BBC London and in crisis management with Hill & Knowlton. She currently holds directorships with public and philanthropic boards. She lives with her husband and their three children in Sydney.

Amity Gaige SEA WIFE

“Taut as a thriller, emotionally precise yet threaded with lyricism ..This is an unforgettable novel.” — Claire Messud, author of The Emperor’s Children

“Gaige is thrillingly talented, and her novel enchants."—Jennifer Egan, author of Manhattan Beach

A smart, sophisticated, literary page turner about a young family who escapes suburbia for a year-long sailing trip that upends all of their lives.

Juliet is failing to juggle motherhood and her dissertation when her husband, Michael, informs her that he wants to leave his job and buy a sailboat. The couple are novice sailors, but Mi- chael persuades Juliet to say yes. With their two young kids in tow, Juliet and Michael set off for Panama, where their 44-foot sailboat awaits them. The initial result is transformative: their marriage is given a gust of energy and the children thrive. But the sea challenges them all – and most of all, Juliet, who suffers from depression. Told in gripping dual perspectives, Sea Wife follows Juliet’s first-person narration, after the journey, as she struggles to come to terms with the dire, life-changing events that unfolded at sea; and Michael’s captain’s log that provides a riveting account of those same inexorable events.

Exuberant, harrowing, witty, and exquisitely written, Sea Wife is a wholly original take on one of our oldest stories – survival at sea – and asks a pertinent question for our polarized political moment: How does a crew with deep philosophical differences and outmoded gender roles bring a ship (and a family) safely to shore?

Amity Gaige is the author of three novels – O My Darling, The Folded World and Schroder, which was short-listed for the Folio Prize in 2014. Published in eighteen countries, Schroder was named one of the best books of 2013 by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Kirkus, Amazon, and Publisher’s Weekly, among others. Amity is the winner of a Fulbright Fellowship, fellowships at the MacDowell and Yaddo colonies, a Baltic Writing Residency, and a Guggenheim Fellowship for fiction.

Julia Heaberlin WE ARE ALL THE SAME IN THE DARK

Praise for Paper Ghosts:

“[An] artful and elegiac psychological thriller . . . riveting.”―Publishers Weekly (starred)

The discovery of a one-eyed girl on the side of the road threatens to unearth the secrets of a cold case in this twisty psychological thriller from critically acclaimed author Julia Heaberlin.

It’s been a decade since Trumanell Branson disappeared from a farm, leaving only a bloody handprint behind. Her pretty face still hangs like a watchful queen on the posters on the walls of the town’s Baptist Church, the police station, and in the high school. They all promise the same thing: We will find you. Meanwhile, her brother, Wyatt, lives as a pariah in the desolation of the old family house, cleared of wrongdoing by the police but tried and sentenced in the court of public opinion and in a new crime documentary.

When Wyatt finds a lost girl dumped in a field of dandelions, making silent wishes, he believes she is a sign. The town’s youngest cop, Odette Tucker, believes she is a catalyst that will ignite a seething town still waiting for its own girl to come home. But Odette can’t look away. She shares a wound that won’t close with the mute, one-eyed mystery girl. She is haunted by her own history with the missing Tru.

Desperate to solve both cases, Odette fights to save a lost girl in the present and to dig up the shocking truth about a fateful night in the past—the night her friend disappeared, the night that inspired her to become a cop, the night that wrote them all a role in the town’s dark, vio- lent mythology.

Julia Heaberlin is the author of the critically acclaimed Black-Eyed Susans, a USA To- day and Times (U.K.) bestseller. Her psychological thrillers, which also include Paper Ghosts, Playing Dead, and Lie Still, have been sold in more than fifteen countries. Heaberlin is an award-winning journalist. She grew up in Texas and lives with her family near Dallas/Fort Worth, where she is at work on her next novel.

Elin Hilderbrand 28 SUMMERS

Praise for the #1 New York Times bestseller Summer of ‘69:

“Superb...Hilderbrand hits all the right notes about life in a tightly knit family, and this crowd-pleaser is sure to satisfy both her fans and newcomers alike."―Publishers Weekly (starred)

When Mallory Blessing’s son, Link, receives death bed instructions from his mother to call a number on a slip of paper in her desk drawer, he certainly does not expect Jake McCloud to answer. It’s the late spring of 2020 and Jake’s wife, Ursula DeGournsey, is the front runner in the upcoming Presidential election.

There must be a mistake, Link thinks. How do Mallory and Jake know each other?

Flashback to the sweet summer of 1993. Mallory has just inherited a beachfront cottage from her aunt and she agrees to host her brother’s bachelor party. Jake McCloud, Cooper’s friend from college, attends and Jake and Mallory form a bond that will persevere — through marriage, children and Ursula’s stratospheric political rise — until Mallory learns she’s dying.

Based on the classic movie, “Same Time Next Year,” (which Mallory and Jake watch every year), 28 Summers explores the agony and romance of a one-weekend-per year affair and the dramatic ways this relationship complicates and enriches their lives and the lives of the people they love.

Elin Hilderbrand is the author of many New York Times bestselling novels, including Summer of ‘69, The Perfect Couple, The Identicals, Here’s To Us, The Rumor, Beautiful Day, Summerland, Sil- ver Girl, The Island, A Summer Affair, and Barefoot. There are over ten million copies of Elin Hilderbrand’s novels in print, and her sales continue to grow. Her books have been published in over twenty foreign countries.

Elin Hilderbrand TROUBLES IN PARADISE

"You'll be counting the days until you can return to the Virgin Islands with these characters in the con- cluding volume of the trilogy. Print the bumper sticker-'I'd Rather Be Living in an Elin Hilderbrand Novel.'"―Kirkus (starred review)

Welcome to Troubles in Paradise, the third and final volume in Elin Hilderbrand’s wildly popular New York Times bestselling trilogy (Winter in Paradise; What Happens in Paradise).

FBI agents have seized Irene Steel’s Iowa City home and the St. John villa belonging to her de- ceased husband, Russ, claiming that the money he used to buy the properties had been illegal- ly procured through laundering and tax fraud as part of his secret double-life in the Caribbean that included a girlfriend, Rosie, and a 12-year old daughter, Maia. What will happen now that the Irene has to start over without the comforts that Russ’s money had provided, and without answers to his mysterious death?

All of the drama of the Steele family’s uncovering and rebuilding is, once again, set against the lush background of St. John and the British Virgin Islands, as a hurricane that is gaining apoc- alyptic size and speed bears down.

Elin Hilderbrand spent her first summer on Nantucket Island in 1993 and has lived there year -round for 26 years. She’s the mother of three, an enthusiastic at-home cook and a six-year breast cancer survivor. Troubles in Paradise is her 26th novel.

Eloisa James SAY YES TO THE DUKE

Praise for Say No to the Duke:

“James creates blistering chemistry between her protagonists, but her light tone betrays the deeper, complex issues of trauma and shame that her characters are forced to face." ―Publishers Weekly

A shy wallflower meets her dream man – or does she? – in the next book in New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James' Wildes of Lindow series.

Miss Viola Astley is so painfully shy that she’s horrified by the mere idea of dancing with a stranger; her upcoming London debut feels like a nightmare. So she’s overjoyed to meet handsome, quiet vicar with no interest in polite society — but just when she catches his attention, her reputation is compromised by a duke.

Devin Lucas Augustus Elstan, Duke of Wynter, will stop at nothing to marry Viola, including marrying a woman whom he believes to be in love with another man. A vicar, no less. Devin knows he’s no saint, but he’s used to conquest, and he’s determined to win Viola’s heart.

Viola has already said Yes to his proposal, but now he wants her unruly heart…and he won’t accept No for an answer.

Eloisa James is a USA Today and New York Times bestselling author and a professor of English literature, who lives with her family in New York, but can sometimes be found in Paris or Ita- ly. Her bestselling books have been sold in over 20 countries worldwide. She is the mother of two and, in a particularly delicious irony for a romance writer, is married to a genuine Italian knight.

THE LAST HUMAN

"Harkening back to Heinlein and Clarke, 'The Last Human' gives us aliens, adventure, mystery, and big ideas in a thoroughly fresh package. If you love a good old-fashioned space opera, this book is for you.”—Andy Weir, author of The Martian

The last human in the universe is on the run from a godlike intelligence in this roaring debut.

Most days, Sarya doesn’t feel like the most terrifying creature in the galaxy. Most days, she’s got other things on her mind. Like hiding her identity among the hundreds of alien species roaming the corridors of Watertower Station. Or making sure her adoptive mother doesn’t cas- ually eviscerate one of their neighbors. Again.

And most days, she can almost accept that she’ll never know the truth—that she’ll never know why humanity was deemed too dangerous to exist. Or whether she really is—impossibly—the lone survivor of a species destroyed a millennium ago. That is, until an encounter with a boun- ty hunter and a miles-long kinetic projectile leaves her life and her perspective shattered.

Thrown into the universe in a stolen ship—with the dubious assistance of a rebellious space- suit, an android death enthusiast on his sixtieth lifetime, and a ball of fluff with an IQ in the thousands—Sarya begins to uncover an impossible truth. What if humanity’s death and her own existence are simply two moves in a demented cosmic game, one played out by vast alien intellects? Stranger still, what if these mad gods are offering Sarya a seat at their table—and a second chance for humanity?

The Last Human is a sneakily brilliant, gleefully oddball space-opera debut—a masterful play on perspective, intelligence, and free will, wrapped in a rollicking journey through a strange and crowded galaxy.

Zack Jordan is a compulsive learner and creator. He was a designer on several video game series including the Belarusian mega-hit (yes, that's a thing) World of Tanks, but he's more proud of the indie game and music albums he's released under the name U.S. Killbotics.

THE TOUR

All the pomp. All the catastrophe. Meet the Chettle sisters, a royal disaster in waiting.

Nineteen-year-old identical twins Violet and Daisie Chettle can hardly believe their luck when they are recruited as maids to accompany the Queen’s Lady-in-Waiting on the royal tour to Australia in 1954. It’s just the ticket they need away from cold, grey England and the tension that’s been brewing at home since the loss of their parents.

However, life on board the SS Gothic and indeed in the colony is far from the glamorous adventure they expected, and their relationship becomes even more strained when one twin discovers her sister’s unconscionable act of betrayal.

As they travel from the bustling streets of Sydney to the remote sheep stations of Dubbo, they try to make the best of it. Diligent Violet is juggling commands from her superiors with the attentions of handsome Aussie driver Jack, while ambitious Daisie seeks love in all the wrong places while clawing her way to top deck. An opportunity to meet their estranged aunt living in the vast outback promises hope for a new future – but have these girls ventured too far from home to ever find their way back?

Based around one of the biggest true events in Australian history – the 1954 royal tour by the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II – this is a wickedly entertaining novel about the rifts and rivalries that can be found in every family, Royal or not.

Andrew Mackie is a film distributor and producer. His company Transmission Films acquired and released such indie hits as The King’s Speech and Lion. His executive producer credits include Ride Like A Girl, Tracks, Candy, Sweet Country, Holding the Man and On Chesil Beach. In 2012 and 2013 The Australian named him one of the twenty-five most influential people in Australian arts. Andrew has always been fascinated by all things royal and has felt that the Queen’s tour of Australia in 1954 was ripe with dramatic potential. The Tour is his first novel.

And he’s not alone in his thoughts – an ally unknown to him is listening.

A uniquely gifted dog with a heart as golden as his breed, Kipp is devoted beyond reason to people. When he hears the boy who communicates like he does, without speaking, Kipp knows he needs to find him before it’s too late.

Woody’s fearful suspicions are taking shape. A man driven by a malicious evil has set a de- praved plan into motion. And he’s coming after Woody and his mother. The reasons are pri- mal. His powers are growing. And he’s not alone. Only a force greater than evil can stop what’s coming next.

Martine Murray THE LAST SUMMER OF ADA BLOOM

“The Bloom Family will absolutely have your heart. Readers will be spellbound by this honest and tender accounting of each Bloom family member. Martine Murray's stunning debut is a true delight." —Julia Fierro, author of The Gypsy Moth Summer

In a small country town during one long, hot summer, the Bloom family is beginning to unrav- el. Martha is straining against the confines of her life, lost in regret for what might have been, when an old flame shows up. In turn, her husband Mike becomes frustrated with his increasingly distant wife. Marital secrets, new and long-hidden, start to surface—with devastating effect. And while teenagers Tilly and Ben are about to step out into the world, nine–year-old Ada is holding onto a childhood that might soon be lost to her.

When Ada discovers an abandoned well beneath a rusting windmill, she is drawn to its darkness and danger. And when she witnesses a shocking and confusing event, the well’s forebod- ing looms large in her mind—a driving force, pushing the family to the brink of tragedy. For each family member, it’s a summer of searching—in books and trees, at parties, in relationships new and old—for the answer to one of life’s most difficult questions: how to grow up?

The Last Summer of Ada Bloom is an honest and tender accounting of what it means to come of age as a teen, or as an adult. With a keen eye for summer’s languor and danger, and a sharp ear for the wonder, doubt, and longing in each of her character’s voices, Martine Murray has written a beguiling story about the fragility of family relationships, the secrets we keep, and the power of love to somehow hold it all together.

Martine Murray was born in Melbourne and now lives in Castlemaine in Victoria. She is an award-winning children’s novelist and illustrator. The Last Summer of Ada Bloom is her first novel for adults.

Maria Mutch MOLLY FALLS TO EARTH

“Beautiful and breathtakingly expansive, Molly Falls to Earth captures the delicate and dramatic pull of relationships in a city that swallows people up and hides them in plain sight.. an absolutely re- splendent novel.”— Marjan Kamali, author of The Stationery Shop

An enthralling debut novel by Governor General’s Literary Awards finalist Maria Mutch that is an inventive exploration of time, absence, and desire.

I feel in some strange place.

In late January 2010, choreographer Molly Volkova has a seizure on a crowded Manhattan sidewalk. As Molly experiences the singularity of the seizure over the course of seven minutes, she is haunted by her past: memories of love and infidelity, thoughts of her family and her work, and of the city itself. She also reflects on the disappearance of a lover she last saw ten years earlier, his sister, and the secrets that connect all three of them.

Flickering through time and space and from character to character, Molly Falls to Earth forms a constellation around the spot where Molly lies on the edge of Washington Square Park. Inter- woven throughout are documentary segments featuring the voices of others who search for the lost, obsessed with those who have gone missing.

With her extraordinary ability to capture the unimaginable, Maria Mutch takes us deep into a stormy world in which people disappear without going anywhere, and appear to be present while travelling vast distances.

Maria Mutch's memoir, Know the Night, was a finalist for both the Governor General’s Literary Awards and the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize, and was listed in The Globe and Mail’s Top 100 and Maclean’s Best Reads. Her debut short story collection, When We Were Birds, received stel- lar reviews. She lives in Rhode Island with her husband and two sons.

FIRE IN THE BLOOD

"A tremendously compelling debut of rare skill,"— Phil Klay, author of Redeployment

When Coop—a US Army paratrooper serving in Afghanistan—is called urgently to his Cap- tain’s office, he fears he’s headed for a court martial. Coop has been keeping a terrible secret and worries he’s been discovered. Instead, a different devastation awaits: his wife, Kay, has been killed in a hit-and-run.

Ivy Pochoda

THESE WOMEN

"Heartbreaking.... This deep dive into the lives of women too often unseen in the shadows makes them vividly unforgettable."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

From the award-winning author of Wonder Valley and Visitation Street comes a serial killer story like you’ve never seen before—a literary thriller of female empowerment and social change.

In West Adams, a rapidly changing part of South Los Angeles, they’re referred to as “these women.” These women on the corner… These women in the club… These women who won’t stop asking questions… These women who got what they deserved…

In this masterful novel, Ivy Pochoda creates a kaleidoscope of loss, power, and hope featuring five very different women whose lives are steeped in danger and anguish. They’re connected by one man and his deadly obsession, though not all of them know that yet. There’s Dorian, still adrift after her daughter’s unsolved murder; Julianna, a young dancer nicknamed Jujubee, who lives hard and fast, resisting anyone trying to slow her down; Essie, a brilliant vice cop who sees a crime pattern emerging where no one else does; Marella, a daring performance artist whose work has long pushed boundaries but now puts herself in peril; and Anneke, a quiet woman who has turned a willfully blind eye to her own family for far too long.

The careful existence they have built for themselves starts to crumble when two murders rock their neighborhood. Written with beauty and grit, tension and grace, These Women is a glorious display of storytelling, a once-in-a-generation novel.

Ivy Pochoda is the author of the novels Wonder Valley, Visitation Street, and The Art of Disap- pearing. Visitation Street was chosen as an Amazon Best Book of the Month, Amazon Best Book of 2013, and a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Los Angeles Review of Books, among others. She has a BA from Harvard College in Classical Greek and an MFA from Ben- nington College in fiction. Ivy grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and currently lives in Los Angeles.

Christopher Reich THE PALACE

Praise for Crown Jewel:

“A stylish international thriller . . . Reich's solid tradecraft and nonstop action are humanized by the hint of a relationship of the heart."―Booklist

Life is good for Rafael de Bourbon. The forty-year-old Spaniard is recently married to a wealthy English beauty and days away from opening a luxury boutique hotel off the southern coast of Thailand. But when the Royal Thai Police storms the hotel and arrest him for black- mail and extortion, “Rafa” is thrown into Bangkok’s most notorious jail. In desperation, he reaches out to the one man who can prove his innocence.

Simon Riske, ex-con and now “private spy,” owes Rafa his life. Once he and Rafa were the closest of friends, until a woman came between them. Riske rushes to Bangkok to secure his friend’s release and finds himself caught up in a web of intrigue larger and more dangerous than he could imagine. Now, it is Riske who finds himself the wanted man.

On the run in a foreign country, pursued by powerful unseen forces who will stop at nothing until he is killed, Riske must stay alive long enough to uncover the truth behind an international conspiracy that threatens to wreak carnage across the glittering capitals of Europe. From Bangkok to Singapore and ultimately to Cannes, Riske enlists the help of a daring investiga- tive reporter, a rogue Mossad agent, and his own band of home-grown specialists , to thwart the cabal behind the plot, only to learn its very origins are frighteningly close to his past.

Frighteningly timely, diabolically clever, and ever so stylish, The Palace is Christopher Reich’s sharpest and most exciting book yet.

Lionel Shriver

THE MOTION OF THE BODY THROUGH SPACE

Praise for Lionel Shriver:

“...Shriver isn’t the kind of writer who lets her themes rise gently to the surface. She seizes them with an almost animalistic ferocity and interrogates them for all they’re worth. Her smart, satirical fiction...is also almost uncannily of its moment. . . . Shriver has always seemed to be at least a few steps ahead of the rest of us.”—New York Times Book Review

In Lionel Shriver’s entertaining send-up of today’s cult of exercise, an aging husband’s sudden obsession with extreme sport makes him unbearable.

After an early retirement, Remington announces to his wife Serenata that he’s decided to run a marathon. This from a sedentary man in his sixties who’s never exercised in his life. A loner, Serenata disdains mass group activities of any sort. Besides, his timing is cruel. Serenata has long been the couple’s exercise freak, but by age sixty, her fitness regimes have destroyed her knees, and she’ll soon face debilitating surgery. Yes, becoming more active would be good for his heart, but then why not just go for a walk? Without thousands of your closest friends?

As Remington joins the cult of fitness that increasingly consumes the Western world, her once- modest husband burgeons into an unbearable narcissist. Ignoring all his other obligations, he engages a saucy, sexy personal trainer named Bambi, who treats Serenata with contempt. When Remington sets his sights on the legendarily grueling triathlon, MettleMan, Serenata is sure he’ll end up injured or dead. And even if he does survive, their marriage may not.

The Motion of the Body Through Space is vintage Lionel Shriver written with psychological in- sight, a rich cast of characters, lots of verve and petulance, an astute reading of contemporary culture, and an emotionally resonant ending.

Lionel Shriver’s fiction includes The Mandibles, Property, the National Book Award Finalist So Much for That, the New York Times bestseller The Post-Birthday World, and the international bestseller We Need to Talk About Kevin, adapted for a 2010 film starring Tilda Swinton. Her journalism has appeared in The Guardian, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and many other publications.

Jessica Treadway THE GRETCHEN QUESTION

“Spellbinding, utterly deceptive in its brevity, Jessica Treadway’s novel packs into a single day one of the most haunting stories I have ever read about the price we pay for the secrets we keep. It’s also about friendship, motherhood, mortality, the meaning of work, and the search for lasting love.” —Julia Glass, author of Three Junes

The Gretchen Question recounts a day in the life of Roberta Chase, who does not have much time left to make peace with the son who’s punishing her for withholding his father’s true identity.

A single mother torn between protecting her only child and revealing herself fully to the people she loves most, Roberta finds herself at war with conflicting loyalties, the increasing betrayal by her own body, the confused love she feels for her oldest friend, and a trauma from her past that casts a deep and possibly permanent shadow not only over her own life, but over the legacy she will bestow upon her son.

Portraying the most intense and even shameful moments of motherhood, and the things we leave unsaid even to those we want most to hear them, this novel is also a celebration of one woman’s private reckoning with the source of her life’s most profound pain as well as its greatest pleasure.

Jessica Treadway is the author of Lacy Eye, How Will I Know You, and two story collections, which received the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction. A professor at Emerson College in Boston, she lives with her husband in Lexington, Massachusetts.

Paul Tremblay SURVIVOR SONG

Praise for Growing Things:

“Can’t praise Paul Tremblay’s Growing Things highly enough. 19 creepy classics that will turn your favorite easy chair into an uneasy chair. One of the best collections of the 21st century.” —Stephen King, author of The Institute

A riveting novel of suspense and terror from the Bram Stoker award-winning and USA Today bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts.

In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down and the government's emergency proto- cols are faltering.

Dr. Ramola "Rams" Sherman, a soft-spoken pediatrician in her mid-thirties, receives a frantic phone call from Natalie, a friend who is eight months pregnant. Natalie's husband has been killed―viciously attacked by an infected neighbor―and in a failed attempt to save him, Na- talie, too, was bitten. Natalie's only chance of survival is to get to a hospital as quickly as possible to receive a rabies vaccine. The clock is ticking for her and for her unborn child.

Natalie’s fight for life becomes a desperate odyssey as she and Rams make their way through a hostile landscape filled with dangers beyond their worst nightmares. Paul Tremblay once again demonstrates his mastery in this chilling and all-too-plausible novel that will leave readers racing through the pages . . . and shake them to their core.

Paul Tremblay has won the Bram Stoker, British Fantasy, and Massachusetts Book awards and is the author of The Cabin at the End of the World, Disappearance at Devil’s Rock, A Head Full of Ghosts, and the crime novels The Little Sleep and No Sleep Till Wonderland. He is a member of the board of directors of the Shirley Jackson Awards, and his essays and short fiction have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly online, and numerous year’s-best anthol- ogies.

Tom Young SILVER WINGS, IRON CROSS

Praise for Tom Young:

“Young is an excellent storyteller, creating memorable characters with Hemingway-like understatement and precision.”—Kirkus (starred)

From air combat veteran Tom Young comes the explosive saga of two enemy combatants—an American pilot and German U-boat officer— united by fate in an epic fight for survival . . .

World War II Lieutenant Karl Hagan earned his wings with great valor. But when his plane is shot down behind enemy lines, he’s forced to make the hardest decision of his life: trusting the enemy.

Oberleutnant Wilhelm Albrecht wore his Iron Cross with pride. When his U-boat is attacked in a devastating air raid, he abandons ship and finds an unlikely ally: the pilot who bombed him.

From the smoke-filled skies over Europe to the fire-blasted waters of a Nazi naval base to the battle-scarred German countryside, the American and the German must form an uneasy truce if they hope to survive. It is November of 1944. The tides of war have turned. Allies have taken back France, and German troops have retreated. But for Karl and Wilhelm, the war is far from over. Each must be prepared to lie for the other, fight for the other, or die with the other. But their short-lived alliance will be put to the test only when they reach the end of the line— inside a POW camp . . .

Thrillingly tense, blisteringly authentic, and emotionally powerful, Silver Wings, Iron Cross is an unforgettable novel of World War II that’s sure to become a classic in the field.

Non-Fiction

Alice Achan & Philippa Tyndale THE SCHOOL OF RESTORATION

“Alice is a remarkable visionary who has created paths to independence and self-worth for girls who suffered abuse during the conflict in Northern Uganda. Her first hand account is a must read for anyone concerned with human rights, education and development.” ―Mary Page, Former Director, Human Rights, MacArthur Foundation

The powerful and uplifting story of one Ugandan woman who has given hope to hundreds of female victims of war and violence.

Alice Achan was just thirteen when the Lord's Resistance Army first terrorized her village in northern Uganda in 1987. She spent five years on the run from the brutal LRA, and then cared for her young nieces after their mother died of AIDs, losing them one by one to the disease. Their deaths plunged her into depression, which only began to lift after she took in an unexpected guest: a pregnant teenage girl, kidnapped and assaulted by the LRA, who had escaped captivity with her toddler.

Spurred on by her young friend's plight, Alice began to house and nurture survivors of the sexual violence that was a trademark of the LRA's twenty-year campaign. Out of this rose the Pa- der Girls Academy, which Alice saw as a 'School of Restoration'. It has helped hundreds of girls, many left with babies and HIV as a result of their enslavement. Alice recognized the humanity and potential in these girl mothers, who had been rejected or were trapped in their vil- lages without hope.

Written in Alice Achan’s powerful yet understated voice, The School of Restoration is a compelling story of hope, forgiveness, redemption and the human capacity to survive and even thrive against the backdrop of war and chaos.

Philippa Tyndale has brought Alice's voice to life. She is a journalist, philanthropist and a key supporter of The Pader Academy. She has written for the Australian Financial Review, Sydney Morning Herald, The Bulletin and in recent years she has become involved in the development field through the micro finance work of Opportunity International.

THE JOY OF BREADWINNING A New Roadmap for Creating Wealth and Building the Life of Your Dreams

We may hear about the gender pay gap constantly, but there’s another major hurdle keeping women from achieving financial success: the wealth gap. And it’s not the same thing.

Nearly half of working women are now their household’s main breadwinner. And yet, the majority of women still aren’t being raised to think like breadwinners. In fact, we’re actually dis- couraged – by institutional bias and subconscious beliefs – from building our own wealth, pursuing our full earning potential and putting ourselves in a position to provide for ourselves and others financially. The result is we earn less, owe more and have significantly less money saved and invested for the future than men do. And if we do end up the main breadwinners, we’ve been conditioned to feel reluctant and unprepared to manage the role.

This narrative we’ve been fed – that we don’t have to take full financial responsibility to create the lives we want – is a lie, leaving us vulnerable and without real agency. The Joy of Breadwin- ning shows us not only the importance of building our own wealth, but also the freedom and power that comes with it. This book will reframe what it means to be a breadwinner, encour- aging women to reclaim, rejoice in, and aspire to the role.

Alex Beam

BROKEN GLASS Mies Van Der Rohe, Edith Farnsworth, and the Fight Over a Modernist Masterpiece

“The Farnsworth House occupies an essential place on architecture’s timeline — but in the able hands of Alex Beam, its backstory offers a drama worthy of Edward Albee... Beam offers a richly detailed look at how an apparently simple commission evanesced into an enduring modernist landmark of glass and steel.“ — Hugh Howard, author of Architecture’s Odd Couple

In 1945, Edith Farnsworth asked the German architect Mies van der Rohe, already renowned for his avant-garde buildings, to design a weekend home for her outside of Chicago. Edith was a woman ahead of her time–unmarried, she was a distinguished medical researcher, as well as an accomplished violinist, translator, and poet. The two quickly began spending weekends together, sharing interests in idealistic philosophy, Catholic mysticism, wine-soaked picnics, and architecture. Their collaboration would produce one of the most important works of architecture of all time, a blindingly original house made up almost entirely of glass and steel.

But the minimalist marvel, built in 1951, was plagued by cost overruns and a sudden chilling of the two friends’ romance. Though the building became world-famous, Edith found it impossible to live in the transparent house, and she began a public campaign against Mies, cheered on by Frank Lloyd Wright. Mies, in turn, sued her for unpaid monies. The ensuing lengthy trial heard evidence of purported incompetence by one of the world’s greatest architects, and al- legations of psychological cruelty and emotional trauma. A commercial dispute litigated in a rural Illinois courthouse turned int an examination of both art and architecture.

Interweaving personal drama and cultural history, Alex Beam presents a stylish, enthralling tapestry of the fascinating history behind one of the twentieth-century’s most beautiful and significant architectural projects.

Alex Beam has been a columnist for The Boston Globe since 1987. He previously served as the Moscow bureau chief for Business Week. He is the author of four works of nonfiction: The Feud, American Crucifixion, Gracefully Insane, and A Great Idea at the Time; the latter two were New York Times Notable Books.

Aminata Conteh-Biger

RISING HEART

'Rising Heart will never leave you; searing, powerful, disturbing, hopeful.' —The Honourable Dame Quentin Bryce AD CVO

The astonishing tale of a woman determined to turn her trauma into power for good.

In 1999, Sierra Leone teenager Aminata Conteh-Biger was kidnapped from her father's arms during the brutal eleven-year civil war in her country. Violence, amputation and the rape of young women and girls were all weapons deployed in the bloody conflict; in this environment, Aminata was held captive for months.

On release, the UNHCR recognised that Aminata's captors still posed a serious threat to her safety. Barely twenty years old, she was put on a plane, flown to Australia - a land she had barely heard of - and told to start again. Refusing to let her trauma define her, she built a life for herself, but a near-death experience during the birth of her first child turned her attention to the women of Sierra Leone, where mothers are 200 times more likely to die having a baby than in Australia. So she set up the Aminata Maternal Foundation, and went back to help.

Aminata Conteh-Biger is an author, performer, mother and wife, and former refugee turned Founder and CEO of the Aminata Maternal Foundation. Born in Sierra Leone, she now lives in Sydney with her husband and two children.

Juliet Rieden has been a journalist for more than 30 years, working between the UK and Aus- tralia for a variety of magazines and newspapers as a writer and editor.

David Chang EAT A PEACH

“Scary-smart, funny, and ambitious, the wildly creative Chang is the guy all chefs have got to measure themselves by these days.” —Anthony Bourdain

The chef behind Momofuku and star of Netflix’s Ugly Delicious gets uncomfortably real in his debut memoir.

As a young, unspectacular cook, David Chang opened a noodle restaurant in Manhattan’s East Village that should not have survived its first, misbegotten year. But, through sheer stubborn- ness and a series of utterly reckless choices, he became a chef who the New York Times once described as “the modern equivalent of Norman Mailer or Muhammad Ali.” In this memoir, Chang lays bare his self-doubt and ruminates on mental health. He explains the ideas that guide him and demonstrates how cuisine is a weapon against complacency and racism. Exhib- iting the vulnerability of Andre Agassi’s Open and the vivid storytelling of Patti Smith’s Just Kids, this is a portrait of a modern America in which tenacity can overcome anything.

David Chang is the chef and founder of Momofuku. Since opening Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York City in 2004, David has been honored as a Food & Wine Best New Chef and Bon Ap- pétit Chef of the Year, and has won five James Beard Awards, including Outstanding Chef and Best Chef New York City. David has been recognized as a Time 100 honoree, was named GQ’s Man of the Year, and has appeared on Fortune’s 40 Under 40 and Esquire’s list of the “most influential people of the twenty-first century.” David’s cookbook, Momofuku, is a New York Times best-seller. In 2018 David founded Majordomo Media and launched The Dave Chang Show podcast in partnership with The Ringer. David collaborated with Academy Award–winning director Morgan Neville on the Netflix original documentary series Ugly Delicious.

Kyle Creek F*CKING HISTORY

101 Lessons You Should Have Learned in School

History that doesn't suck: Smart, crude, and hilariously relevant to modern life.

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Too bad it's usually boring as sh*t. En- ter The Captain, the ultimate storyteller who brings history to life (and to your life) in this hi- larious, intelligent, brutally honest, and crude compendium to events that happened before any of us were born.

The entries in this compulsively readable book bridge past and present with topics like getting ghosted, handling haters, and why dog owners rule (sorry, cat people). Along the way you'll get a glimpse of Edith Wharton's sex life, dating rituals in Ancient Greece, catfishing in 500 BC, medieval flirting techniques, and squad goals from Catherine the Great.

You'll learn why losing yourself in a relationship will make you crazy - like Joanna of Castile, who went from accomplished badass to Joanna the Mad after obsessing over a guy known as Philip the Handsome. You'll discover how Resting Bitch Face has been embraced throughout history (so wear it proudly). And you'll see why it's never a good idea to f*ck with powerful women—from pirate queens to diehard suffragettes to Cleo-f*cking-patra.

People in the past were just like us—so learn from life's losers and emulate the badasses. The Captain shows you how.

Kyle Creek, a.k.a “The Captain” is the self-published author of Feel Free to Quote Me, and Feel Free to Quote Me Again.

Susan Fowler WHISTLEBLOWER My Journey to Silicon Valley and Fight for Justice at Uber

“Sharp and engrossing . . . A powerful illustration of the obstacles our society continues to throw up in the paths of ambitious young women, and the ways that institutions still protect and enable badly be- having men.”—The New York Times

Susan Fowler was 25 years old when her blog post describing the sexual harassment and retal- iation she'd experienced at Uber riveted the nation. Her post would eventually lead to the ousting of Uber's CEO, but its ripples extended far beyond that, as her courageous choice to attach her name to the post inspired other women to speak publicly about their experiences. In the year that followed, an unprecedented number of women came forward, and Fowler was recognized by Time as one of the "Silence Breakers" who ignited the #MeToo movement.

Now, she tells her full story for the first time: a story of extraordinary determination and resili- ence. Long before she arrived at Uber, Fowler's life had been defined by her refusal to accept her circumstances. She propelled herself from an impoverished childhood with little formal education to the Ivy League, and then to a coveted position at one of the most valuable companies in Silicon Valley. Each time she was mistreated, she fought back or found a way to rein- vent herself. But when she discovered Uber's pervasive culture of sexism, racism, harassment, and abuse, and that the company would do nothing about it, she knew she had to speak out— no matter what it cost her.

Whistleblower takes us deep inside this shockingly toxic workplace and reveals new details about the aftermath of the blog post, when Fowler was investigated and followed, hacked and threatened. But even as it illuminates how the deck is stacked in favor of the status quo, Fowler's story serves as a crucial reminder that we can take our power back.

Susan Fowler is the technology op-ed editor at The New York Times and has been named a "Person of the Year" by Time, The Financial Times, and the Webby Awards, and has appeared on Fortune's "40 under 40" list, Vanity Fair's New Establishment List, Marie Claire's New Guard List, the Bloomberg 50, the Upstart 50, the Recode 100, and more. She is the author of a book on computer programming that has been implemented by companies across Silicon Valley.

Robert Greene THE LAW OF THE SUBLIME

"Greene's specialty is analyzing the lives and philosophies of historical figures like Sun Tzu and Napole- on, and extracting from them tips on how to manipulate people and situations—a cutthroat worldview that has earned him a devoted following among a like-minded readership of rappers, drug dealers and corporate executives." —The New York Times

We notice in the world today a sense of global restlessness—a search for meaning, for something to believe in. We are all increasingly self-absorbed and made miserable by this, and we do not understand why or how to get out of this trap. The Sublime is an experience that lifts us out of ourselves, that confronts us with ultimate mysteries (such as death and the true nature of human consciousness). These experiences expand our minds and bring us back to the sense of awe and wonder we had as children. The Sublime is a connection to larger forces and other people, providing our lives with meaning, and liberating us from the trap of self- absorption. This is a book that will serve as a roadmap for how to bring us closer to the Sub- lime.

Eleanor Herman SEX WITH PRESIDENTS

Praise for The Royal Art of Poison:

“A pernicious history that will make jaws drop and pages fly.” —Booklist

While Americans have a reputation for being strait-laced, many of the nation’s leaders have been anything but puritanical. Alexander Hamilton had a steamy affair with a blackmailing prostitute. John F. Kennedy swam nude with female staff in the White House swimming pool. Is it possible the qualities needed to run for president—narcissism, a thirst for power, a desire for importance—go hand in hand with a tendency to sexual misdoing?

In this entertaining and eye-opening book, Eleanor Herman revisits some of the sex scandals that have rocked the nation's capital and shocked the public, while asking the provocative questions: does rampant adultery show a lack of character or the stamina needed to run the country? Or perhaps both? While Americans have judged their leaders' affairs harshly com- pared to other nations, did they mostly just hate being lied to? And do they now clearly care more about issues other than a politician’s sex life?

What is sex like with the most powerful man in the world? And when America finally elects a female president, will she, too, have sexual escapades in the Oval Office? A striking new work that will offer fresh insights into how the country’s views on sex and power are changing.

Eleanor Herman is the New York Times bestselling author of Sex with Kings, Sex with the Queen, and several other works of popular history. She has hosted Lost Worlds for The History Chan- nel, The Madness of Henry VIII for National Geographic Channel, and America: Fact vs. Fiction for the American Heroes Channel. Herman lives with her husband, their yellow lab, and her four very dignified cats in McLean, Virginia.

Kathryn Heyman FURY

“A masterful work, a personal and literary triumph.” —Anna Funder, author of All That I Am

This is the story of becoming heroic in a culture which does not see heroism in the shape of a girl.

At the age of twenty, after a traumatic sexual assault trial, writer Kathryn Heyman ran away from her life and became a deckhand on a fishing trawler in the Timor Sea.

The life she left behind was beyond broken. Coming from a family of poverty and violence, she had no real role models, no example of how to create a decent life, how to have hope, how to have expectations. But she was a reader. She understood story, and the power of naming. This was her salvation.

After one wild season on board the Ocean Thief, the only girl among tough working men, facing storms, treachery, and harder physical labour than she had ever known, Heyman was transformed, able to face the abuses that she thought had broken her, able to see ‘all that she had been blind to, simply to survive’.

A reflection on the wider stories of class, and of growing up female with all its risks and re- wards, a roadmap of recovery and transformation: Fury is a memoir of courage and determination, of fighting back and demanding to be seen.

Kathryn Heyman is the author of six novels including Storm and Grace . She has written several radio dramas for the BBC, including adaptations of her own fiction, and several works for the theatre. Her previous work has won the Wingate Scholarship, Southern Arts and Arts Council of England Writing Awards in the UK and been nominated for awards including the Scottish Writer of the Year, the Orange Prize (now the Baileys) and the Kibble Prize and the West Australian Premier’s Literary Awards. In 2017/18 Heyman received the CAL Author Fel- lowship for Fury. ANZ: Allen & Unwin (September 2020) Agent: Catherine Drayton UK: Myriad Editor: Jane Palfreyman Format: Manuscript 46

Frank Huyler WHITE HOT LIGHT Stories from a Medical Life

“If Raymond Carver had been a doctor, these are the stories he would have written. There are no untar- nished heroes here. This is the world as it is: lovely and disturbing all at once.” — Atul Gawande, author of Being Mortal

Another "pitch-perfect book of short essays” (New York Times Book Review) from the acclaimed author of Blood of Strangers, this one exploring the contemporary practice of medicine from the perspective of a doctor with 25 years of experience in the ER.

In the late 1990s, a young physician in Albuquerque, New Mexico, published a stunning memoir of his experiences in the highly charged world of the ER. Presented in a series of powerful, poetic vignettes, The Blood of Strangers became an instant classic.

Now, over two decades later, Dr. Huyler delivers another dispatch from the trenches—this time from the perspective of his own middle age. In portraits visceral, haunting, sometimes surreal, Huyler reveals the gritty reality of medicine practiced on the razor's edge between life and death.

From the doomed (the Iraq vet with a brain full of shrapnel) to the self-destructive (the young woman who inserts a sewing needle into her heart) to the transcendent (the homeless Navajo artist whose sketches charm the nurses) Huyler assembles a profound mosaic of human suffer- ing and grace, complemented by episodes from his personal life. Melding hard-earned wisdom with a poet's crystalline vision, Huyler evokes the awesome burden of responsibility, the exhaustion, and those rare occasions when the confluence of luck and science yield, in the author's words, "moments of breathtaking greatness."

White Hot Light offers an unforgettable portrait of a field that illuminates life at its most vulnerable, and its most elemental.

Frank Huyler is an emergency physician in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the author of the The Blood of Strangers, Law of Invisible Things, and The Right of Thirst. His poetry has appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The Georgia Review, and Poetry, among others.

Suleika Jaouad BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS A Memoir of a Life Interrupted

“A poignant story of mourning and gratitude” — Tara Westover, author of Educated

A searing, deeply moving memoir of illness and recovery that traces one young woman’s journey from diagnosis to remission and, ultimately, a road trip of healing and self-discovery.

After graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing to enter “the real world.” She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world however would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone.

It started with an itch—first on her feet, then up her legs. Next came the exhaustion, and the six-hour naps that only deepened her fatigue. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. The life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames. By the time Jaouad flew home to New York, she had lost her job, her apartment, and her independence. She would spend much of the next four years in a hospital bed, chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times.

When Jaouad walked out of the cancer ward—after 3 years of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone marrow transplant—she was “cured”. But that’s not where the work of healing ends; it’s where it begins. How would she reenter the world? Jaouad embarked—with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt—on a 100-day road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital: a teenage girl in Florida also recovering from cancer; a death-row inmate in Texas. What she learned on this trip is that the divide between sick and well is porous, that the vast majority of us will travel back and forth between these realms throughout our lives. Between Two Kingdoms is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce exploration of what it means to begin again.

Suleika Jaouad is an Emmy Award-winning writer, speaker, cancer survivor, and activist. She served on Barack Obama's Presidential Cancer Panel, and her advocacy work, reporting, and speaking engagements have brought her everywhere from the main stage of TED, (which has nearly 2 million online views) to the United Nations and Capitol Hill to a two-room schoolhouse in rural Montana. 48 North America: Random House (February 2021) Agent: Richard Pine UK: Transworld Holland: AmboAnthos Editor: Andy Ward Germany: Goldmann Slovakia: Fortuna Format: Manuscript Spain: Urano

THE DAUGHTERS OF YALTA The Churchills, Roosevelts, and Harrimans: A Story of Love and War

As the last battles of World War II were still being fought, the Allied forces gathered on the Crimean peninsula for what would be known as the Yalta Conference. Attending with their respective fathers were three fascinating women, the Daughters of Yalta—Anna Roosevelt, Sa- rah Churchill, and Kathleen Harriman.

Tensions during the Yalta Conference in February 1945 threatened to tear apart wartime alliances among the so-called “Big Three”—US President Franklin Roosevelt, British Prime Minis- ter Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin — just as victory was close at hand. With access to archives and unpublished letters, historian Catherine Katz uncovers the untold story of the three young women who were chosen by their famous fathers to travel with them to Yalta, each bound by fierce ambition and intertwined dramas that powerfully colored these crucial days. Kathleen Harriman, twenty-seven, was a champion skier, war correspondent, and daughter to US Ambassador to the USSR Averell Harriman. Sarah Churchill, an actress- turned-RAF officer, was devoted to her brilliant father, who in turn depended on her astute political mind. FDR’s only daughter, Anna, chosen over Eleanor Roosevelt to accompany the president to Yalta, arrived there as holder of her father’s most damaging secret.

Situated in the political maelstrom that marked the transition to a postwar world, The Daugh- ters of Yalta is a remarkable story of fathers and daughters whose relationships were tested and strengthened by the history they witnessed and the future they crafted together.

Catherine Grace Katz is a writer and historian. She received her MPhil in modern European history from the University of Cambridge in 2014 and is currently pursuing her JD at Harvard Law School. The Daughters of Yalta is her first book.

Jonathan Kaufman KINGS OF SHANGHAI Two Rival Dynasties and the Creation of Modern China

A multigenerational story of rival dynasties who flourished in Shanghai and Hong Kong as twentieth-century China surged into the modern era, from a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.

Shanghai, 1936. The Cathay Hotel is one of the most glamorous in the world. Built by Victor Sassoon–billionaire playboy and scion of the Sassoon dynasty–the hotel hosts a who's who of global celebrities. A few miles away, Mao Zedong and the nascent communist party have been plotting revolution before being forced to flee the city.

By the 1930's, the Sassoon had been doing business in China for a century, rivaled in wealth by only the Kadoories. These two Jewish families, both originally from Baghdad, stood astride Chinese business and politics for more than 175 years, profiting from the Opium Wars; surviv- ing Japanese occupation; and nearly losing everything as the Communists swept into power. Jonathan Kaufman tells the remarkable story of how these families ignited an economic boom and opened China to the world, but remained blind to the country's political turmoil on their doorsteps. Kaufman enters the lives of these ambitious men and women to forge a tale of opium smuggling, family rivalry, political intrigue and survival. He also tells the triumphant story of how they joined to rescue and protect 18,000 Jewish refugees fleeing Nazism.

The book lays bare the moral compromises of the Kadoories and the Sassoons--and their exceptional foresight, success and generosity. China started out as a business opportunity, but became a home that they were reluctant to leave; the lavish buildings they built and booming businesses they nurtured continue to define Shanghai and Hong Kong to this day.

Jonathan Kaufman is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who has written and reported on Chi- na for thirty years for The Boston Globe, where he covered the 1989 massacre in Tiananmen Square; The Wall Street Journal, where he served as China bureau chief from 2002 to 2005; and Bloomberg News. He is the author of A Hole in the Heart of the World: Being Jewish in Eastern Europe and Broken Alliance: The Turbulent Times Between Blacks and Jews in America, winner of the National Jewish Book Award.

Bettye Kearse THE OTHER MADISONS The Lost History of a President’s Black Family

"A compelling saga that gives a voice to those that history tried to erase...Poignant and eye-opening, this is a must-read."—Booklist

In The Other Madisons, Bettye Kearse—a descendant of a slave named Coreen and, according to oral tradition, President James Madison—finally shares her family story, exploring legacy, race, and the powerful consequences of telling the whole truth.

For thousands of years, West African griots have recited the stories of their people. Without this tradition Bettye Kearse would not have known that she is a descendant of President James Madison and his slave Coreen. In 1990, Bettye became the eighth-generation griotte for her family. Their credo—“Always remember—you’re a Madison. You come from African slaves and a president”—was intended as a source of pride, but for her, it echoed with abuses of slavery and rape.

Bettye embarked on a journey of discovery—of her ancestors, the nation, and herself. She learned that wherever African slaves walked, recorded history silenced their voices and buried their footsteps: beside a slave-holding fortress in Ghana; below a federal building in New York City; and under a brick walkway at James Madison’s Virginia plantation. And when Bettye tried to confirm the information her ancestors passed down, she encountered obstacles at every turn.

Part personal quest, part testimony, part historical correction, The Other Madisons is the story of an extraordinary American family by a griotte determined to tell the whole story.

Bettye Kearse is a retired pediatric physician and geneticist. Her writing has appeared in the Boston Herald, River Teeth, and Black Lives Have Always Mattered, and was listed as notable in The Best American Essays. She lives in New Mexico.

Justice Malala MIDNIGHT ON THE RAINBOW ROAD

How Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk Averted A Race War and

Created the Rainbow Nation

South Africa, Easter weekend, 1993. Nelson Mandela has been free for three years and is in power-sharing talks with President FW de Klerk. On Easter Saturday, with the specific aim of derailing the negotiations, igniting a civil war, and safeguarding apartheid, a white supremacist group assassinate Chris Hani, Mandela’s heir apparent. South Africa is on a knife edge. Will it slip into recrimination, bloodshed and chaos, or will it somehow be able to come together and forge a peaceful transition?

South African journalist Justice Malala recounts the riveting events of the next four days— never before told in full—which reveals rarely seen sides of both Mandela and de Klerk, the fascinating behind the scenes debates within the ANC and the National Party, and, ultimately, the moment when Madiba, with de Klerk’s blessing, steps forward to conjure the Rainbow Nation. Hollywood will no doubt pitch it as John Carlin’s Playing the Enemy/Invictus meets The King’s Speech.

Justice Malala is a South African political commentator, newspaper columnist and the author of We Have Now Begun Our Descent, which reached number one on the South African bestseller list. He has been writing weekly columns for The Times (South Africa) online newspaper and the Financial Mail magazine in South Africa for over a decade; he is a regular contributor to the Guardian.

Vivek Murthy TOGETHER The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World

"Vivek Murthy reminds us that our national conversation about medicine has been too narrowly focused on hospitals, doctors and drugs—and not enough on the human connections that sustain us. Together stands with Atul Gawande's classic, Being Mortal.” ―Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink

In this groundbreaking book, the 19th Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. Vivek Murthy, transforms our understanding of the unexpected and grave threat to our health: loneliness. Murthy traveled the country meeting with doctors, mental health professionals, and individu- als to better understand the opioid addiction decimating communities—a crisis which has only grown larger in recent years. He discovered a larger issue underlying the epidemics of not only addiction but also anxiety, suicide, and violence. People are feeling disconnected from others, and they lack a sense of community.

But why are we so lonely? Murthy identifies multiple causes: technology, mobility, work culture, commercialism, the tilt toward individualism and away from collectivism, and the weak- ening of social and community institutions—including a decline in religious activities. When frequent and sustained, loneliness puts our body in a chronic stress state, leading to increased inflammation and greater risk for illness.

The good news is that we can alleviate loneliness by building stronger connections. Murthy sets core principles in strengthening connection and looks to examples from various communities and cultures that have created successful efforts to reduce loneliness. Dr. Murthy makes a powerful argument for why we can and must to build a more connected world.

Dr. Vivek H. Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States. As America’s Doctor, he was charged with calling the nation’s attention to critical public health issues. As the Vice Admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, he was dedicated to safeguarding the health of the nation. He received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard and his M.D. and M.B.A. degrees from Yale. He completed his internal medicine residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School where he later joined the faculty. Dr. Murthy resides in Washington, D.C. with his wife and their two children.

Alexi Pappas

BRAVEY

"Renaissance runner" (New York Times) Alexi Pappas—Olympic athlete, actress, filmmaker and writer—shares what she's learned about confidence, self-reliance, mental health, embracing pain, and achieving your dreams in this revealing and inspiring memoir-in-essays.

When Alexi was four years old, her mother committed suicide, setting her on a perpetual search for female role models. When her father started signing her up for sports teams as a way to keep his bereaved daughter busy, female athletes became some of the first women Pap- pas looked up to, and she became a girl with a goal: to be an Olympian. Pappas held fast to that dream, putting in the hard work, both mentally and physically, and letting nothing stand in her way, making her Olympic debut as a runner in 2016.

Unflinching and always entertaining, Bravey showcases Pappas's charming voice as she reflects upon the moments in her life and the lessons that have powered her career as both an athlete and artist—chief among them, how to be brave. She faces obstacles with optimism and finds the dark moments as important as the breakthroughs, from high school awkwardness to post- Olympic depression, offering valuable wisdom on the benefits of embracing what hurts, both physical and emotional. To Pappas, bravery is inward-facing; it's in how you feel about yourself, as much about always believing in yourself as it is about running toward your goals.

Pappas's experiences reveal how anyone can overcome hardship, befriend pain, celebrate victory, relish the loyalty found in teammates, and claim joy. In short: how anyone can be a bravey.

David Raubenheimer & Stephen Simpson EAT LIKE THE ANIMALS What Nature Teaches Us About the Science of Healthy Eating

“A wonderfully clever and unusual introduction to the science of healthy eating...Essential reading.” —Dr. Michael Mosley, author of The Fast 500

Our evolutionary ancestors once possessed the ability to intuit what food their bodies needed, in what proportions, and ate the right things in the proper amounts—effortlessly balanced. When and why did we lose this ability, and how can we get it back?

David Raubenheimer and Stephen Simpson answer these questions in a compelling narrative, based upon five “eureka” moments they experienced in the course of their groundbreaking research. The book shares their colorful scientific journey—from the foothills of Cape Town, to the deserts of Australia—culminating in a unifying theory of nutrition that has profound im- plications for our current epidemic of metabolic diseases and obesity. The authors ultimately offer useful prescriptions to understand the unwanted side effects of fad diets, gain control over one’s food environment, and see that delicious and healthy are integral parts of eating.

David Raubenheimer, Ph.D., is the Leonard P. Ullman Professor of Nutritional Ecology in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences, and Nutrition Theme Leader in the Charles Perkins Centre, at the University of Sydney. He lectures extensively at universities and conferences around the world. He co-wrote The Nature of Nutrition: A Unifying Framework from Animal Adap- tation to Human Obesity with Stephen J. Simpson.

David Schneider THE INVENTION OF SURGERY A History of Modern Medicine: From the Renaissance to the Implant Revolution

A fascinating history of the practice of surgery from one of the leading figures in the field, chronicling centuries of scientific breakthroughs by the discipline's most dynamic, pioneering doctors.

Written by an author with plenty of experience holding a scalpel, Dr. David Schneider’s The Invention of Surgery is an in-depth biography of the practice that has leapt forward over the centuries from the dangerous guesswork of ancient Greek physicians through the world- changing “implant revolution” of the twentieth century.

The Invention of Surgery explains this dramatic progress and highlights the personalities of the discipline's most dynamic historical figures. It links together the lives of the pioneering scien- tists who first understood what causes disease, how organs become infected or cancerous, and how surgery could powerfully intercede in people’s lives, and then shows how the rise of surgery intersected with many of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the last century, including the evolution of medical education, the transformation of the hospital from a place of dying to a habitation of healing, the development of antibiotics, and the rise of transistors and polymer science.

And as Schneider argues, surgery has not finished transforming; new technologies are constantly reinventing both the practice of surgery and the nature of the objects we are permanently implanting in our bodies. Schneider considers these latest developments, asking “What’s next?” and analyzing how our conception of surgery has changed alongside our evolving ideas of medicine, technology, and our bodies.

Dr. David Schneider is one of the most sought-after total shoulder and total elbow replace- ment surgeons in the world. He has written for the New England Journal of Medicine, among other medical journals, and is also a lecturer on the history of surgery and a frequent guest on regional radio and TV programs.

Jim Tankersley THE RICHES OF THIS LAND

After World War II, unsung Americans built the strongest middle-class in human history. Then powerful men tore it apart. Here is the story of what went wrong, and how to get it back.

For over a decade, Jim Tankersley has been on a journey to understand what happened to the world's greatest middle-class success story—the post-World-War-II boom that faded into decades of stagnation for American workers. Here, he fuses the story of forgotten Americans— struggling people he met on his journey into the middle-class—with new economic and political research. He begins by unraveling the mystery of the American economy since the 1970s— not where did the jobs go, but why haven't new ones been created to replace them.

His analysis begins with revealing that women and minorities played a more crucial role in building the post-war middle class than politicians acknowledge, and policies that have done nothing to address the structural shifts of the American economy have enabled a privileged few to capture nearly all the benefits of America's prosperity. Meanwhile, the "angry white men of Ohio" have been sold by Trump and his ilk an economic theory that is dangerously backward, pitting them against immigrants, minorities, and women who should be their allies.

At the culmination of his journey, Tankersley lays out specific policy prescriptions and social undertakings that can begin moving the needle in the effort to make new and better jobs appear, fostering an economy that opens new pathways for all workers.

Jim Tankersley, a tax and economics reporter for the New York Times, has written extensively about the stagnation of the American middle-class, and how policy changes in Washington have exacerbated those trends. Tankersley was the policy and politics editor at Vox, economic policy correspondent for the Washington Post, and economic and political reporter at the National Journal. He started his career with stints at The Oregonian, The Rocky Mountain News, and The Toledo Blade, where he was a member of the Coingate team that was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.

Elizabeth F. Thompson HOW THE WEST STOLE DEMOCRACY FROM THE ARABS The Syrian Arab Congress of 1920 and the Destruction of Its Historic Liberal-Islamic Alliance

This is the remarkable and largely unknown story of a massive missed opportunity. For a few months after World War I, liberal, secular democracy had a realistic chance of taking root in the Levant. It could have been a shining example of hope across the Arab world, but instead was tragically extinguished by the machinations of outside imperial interests.

How the West Stole Democracy from the Arabs chronicles what happened in the immediate aftermath of the Arab Revolt. By the end of 1918, Prince Faisal had organized a functional government, the Syrian Arab Congress. 18 months later, it had crowned Faisal king and established a parliamentary monarchy with a 147-article constitution, guaranteeing freedom of religion, absolute equality between Muslims and non-Muslims, the autonomous power of the legislature and judiciary, and a long list of civil liberties.

The book reveals this pivotal moment in modern Arab history, when liberalism became a popular, political option and Arabs rallied to Woodrow Wilson’s call for the self-determination of even small nations. But then that promise was broken. French tanks bulldozed into Damascus to occupy Syria as a mandate under the new League of Nations. And still unexplained is perhaps the most extraordinary, surely the most ironic, part of the story. The Congress president, Rashid Rida, was the leading Islamic reformer of the time.

Tina Turner

THAT’S MY LIFE

Tina Turner is known the world over as a legendary music icon, selling 200 million records and more tickets to her live concerts than any other solo performer in history. She was the first woman to bust open the male clubhouse of rock royalty, and became a twelve-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist, including three Grammy Hall of Fame Awards and a Gram- my Lifetime Achievement Award. Over her exceptional career, she has been a style muse for world-famous photographers, who saw in her a pop icon, a lioness, and a phoenix rising from the ashes. She has also inspired countless designers, visual artists and, of course, the musical talent who followed in her footsteps.

Her new book, That’s My Life, is an outstanding collection of art, featuring quintessential photographs by celebrity photographers such as Peter Lindbergh, Annie Leibovitz, Bruce Weber, Anton Corbijn, Richard Avedon, Herb Ritts, Andy Warhol, Lord Snowdon, and Paul Cox. A true tribute to the unparalleled impact Tina has had on a variety of artists, it will be complete with illustrations by fashion designers such as Christian Louboutin and Bob Mackie, hand- written correspondence from friends like Beyoncé, Giorgio Armani, Bryan Adams, Mick Jag- ger, a tender love letter from her husband, and personal notes from Tina herself.

Even at 80 years old, with the record-breaking Tina: The Tina Turner Musical spotlighting her life on Broadway and introducing her to a new generation of fans, she still believes that age is just a number. Yet, reflecting on the photographs selected for this book, Tina feels that they truly bring her past to life: performances in the biggest stadiums around the world, collabora- tions with talented musicians like David Bowie, deep friendships, beautiful travels from Gha- na to France, decades of style – and, of course, her wigs!

Ozan Varol THINK LIKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life

"When the stakes are high, the unknowns are threatening, and the problems seem insurmountable, you need a superhero - which means you need Ozan Varol. He'll show you how to master the cognitive skills of a rocket scientist. And by the time you finish reading his endlessly fascinating book, your thinking will be bigger, better, and bolder."―Daniel H. Pink, author of When

Named a “must read” by Susan Cain, “endlessly fascinating” by Daniel Pink, and “bursting with practical insights” by Adam Grant. A former rocket scientist reveals the habits, ideas, and strategies that will empower you to turn the seemingly impossible into the possible.

Rocket science is often celebrated as the ultimate triumph of technology. But it’s not. It’s the apex of a thought process—a way to imagine the unimaginable. It’s the same thought process that enabled Neil Armstrong to take his leap for mankind, that allows spacecraft to travel through outer space and land on a spot, and that brings us closer to colonizing other planets.

Fortunately, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to think like one. In this accessible and practical book, Ozan Varol reveals nine simple strategies from rocket science that you can use to make your own giant leaps in work and life—whether it’s landing your dream job, acceler- ating your business, learning a new skill, or creating the next breakthrough product.

Today, thinking like a rocket scientist is a necessity. We all encounter complex and unfamiliar problems in our lives. Those who can tackle these problems enjoy an extraordinary advantage. Think Like a Rocket Scientist will enable you to achieve liftoff.

Ozan Varol is the youngest tenured professor at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Ore- gon. Before he became a professor, Ozan served on the operations team for the 2003 Mars Ex- ploration Rovers and the Cassini-Huygens mission that sent a probe to Saturn. He has deliv- ered keynote speeches at major corporations, nonprofits, and government institutions, including the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Department of State. HBO’s VICE News Tonight will feature him in an upcoming episode. He is also the author of The Democratic Coup d’État.

From the very first page, the indomi- table Renata Convida's quest for vengeance and justice had me in its teeth― and I loved every minute of it." ― Claire Legrand, author of Furyborn

I am Renata Convida. I have lived a hundred stolen lives. Now I live my own.

Renata was a child when she was kidnapped by the King's Justice and brought to the palace of Andalucia. As a Robari, Renata's ability to steal memories from royal enemies enabled the King's Wrath, a siege that resulted in the deaths of thousands of her own people. Now Renata is one of the Whispers, spies working against the crown and helping the remaining Moria escape. The Whispers rescued Renata years ago, but she cannot escape their mistrust and hatred- or the memories of the souls she drained during her time in the palace.

When Dez, the commander of her unit-and the boy she's grown to love-is taken captive, Re- nata must return to the palace and complete Dez's secret mission herself. Can she convince her former captors that she remains loyal? The fate of the Moria depend on it.

But returning to the palace stirs childhood memories long locked away. As Renata grows more deeply embedded in the politics of the royal court, she uncovers a secret in her past that could change the fate of the entire kingdom—and end the war that has cost her everything.

THE CERULEAN & THE ALCAZAR

Praise for The Cerulean:

“The tale will grab readers as they get to the meat of the story, and they will be hooked.” ― School Library Journal

An epic fantasy duology from the bestselling author of The Jewel.

In The Cerulean, Sera’s blood is magic. She lives in a paradise, populated only by women. Every five hundred years, the High Priestess chooses a girl to be sacrificed—flung over the edge—for the protection of the City. And today, she chose Sera. Sera plummets toward the surface, but the fall doesn’t kill her. Instead, she’s found by Leo and Agnes, children from the surface city of Kaolin who are on safari to find new creatures for their father’s freak show. Sera tries to communicate, but her voice only comes out a whisper. Leo takes her back to the city. When they return with their prize, their father is delighted, and Sera is horrified to see the way they treat the other magical beings they’ve captured. As the cruel training for the show begins, Ag- nes realizes that Sera is sentient after all—and that she must help Sera escape her cruel fate…

The Alcazar, Sera has finally recognized the true power of her Cerulean blood. But in order to return home, she’ll need help from Agnes, Leo, and their grandmother—the only person with knowledge about the mysterious island of Braxos, where the Cerulean tether is anchored. Meanwhile, the High Priestess’s power has reached new heights. And when Sera’s friend Leela begins having visions of Sera, alive, she knows she’s the key to saving the City. With the help of friends, family, and Cerulean magic, Leela and Sera could soon return to their normal lives. But when that time comes, will Leela be able to serve her City as blindly as she once did? And will Sera be able to leave everything and everyone she’s grown to love on the planet behind?

Dylan Farrow HUSH

""Hush has all the trappings of a great fantasy: a curse, a labyrinthine castle, many secrets, and powerful magic. At the center of it all, a girl unwilling to allow her world to be twisted by lies when she knows the truth. A truly gripping read." ― Emily A. Duncan, author of Wicked Saints

A stunning and timely debut from activist Dylan Farrow, and already featured in Vanity Fair, The New York Post, and Entertainment Weekly, Hush is a powerful feminist fantasy that casts light into the shadows of a society based on silencing and lies.

How do you speak up in a world where propaganda is a twisted form of magic?

In the land of Montane, language is magic to the few who possess the gift of Telling. This power is re- served for the Bards, and, as everyone knows, the Bards have almost always been men.

Seventeen-year-old Shae has lived her entire life in awe of the Bards—and afraid of the Blot, a deadly disease spread by ink, which took the life of her younger brother five years ago. Ever since, Shae fears she’s cursed. But when tragedy strikes again, and her mother is found murdered with a golden dag- ger—a weapon used only by the Bards—Shae is forced to act.

With a heart set on justice, Shae journeys to High House in search of answers. But when the kind, fa- therly Cathal, the High Lord of Montane, makes Shae an undeniable offer to stay and train as a Bard, Shae can’t refuse. Shae endures backbreaking training by a ruthless female Bard, highly-forbidden feelings for a male Bard with a dark past, and a castle filled with illusions bent on keeping its secrets buried.

But sometimes, the truth is closer than we think. We just have to learn to listen.

Dylan Farrow is a writer, mother, and activist for survivors of sexual assault. Growing up in both New York City and rural Connecticut, she spent countless hours drawing and writing for pleasure. After graduating from Bard College she found a position at CNN as a production assistant and later moved into graphic design. Soon, however, she felt that neither were her calling.

Adrienne Kisner SIX ANGRY GIRLS

Praise for Dear Rachel Maddow:

“A necessary purchase wherever there are teens."—School Library Journal (Starred)

Adrienne Kisner's Six Angry Girls is a story of mock trial, feminism, and the inherent power found in a pair of knitting needles.

Raina Petree is crushing her senior year, until her boyfriend dumps her, the drama club (basically) dumps her, the college of her dreams slips away, and her arch-nemesis triumphs.

Things aren’t much better for Millie Goodwin. Her father treats her like a servant, and the all- boy Mock Trial team votes her out, even after she spent the last three years helping to build its success.

But then, an advice columnist unexpectedly helps Raina find new purpose in a pair of knitting needles and a politically active local yarn store. This leads to an unlikely meeting in the girls’ bathroom, where Raina inspires Millie to start a rival team. The two join together and recruit four other angry girls to not only take on Mock Trial, but to smash the patriarchy in the process.

Adrienne Kisner knits often with more enthusiasm than skill. She is the author of Dear Rachel Maddow and The Confusion of Laurel Graham and is also a graduate of Vermont College of Fine Arts with an MFA in writing for children and young adults.

Gavriel Savit THE WAY BACK

Praise for Anna and the Swallow Man:

“This deeply moving debut novel casts naivete against the cruel backdrop of inhumanity.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)

For the Jews of Eastern Europe, demons are everywhere: dancing on the rooftops in the darkness of midnight, congregating in the trees, harrowing the dead, even reaching out to try and steal away the living.

But the demons have a land of their own: a Far Country peopled with the souls of the transient dead, governed by demonic dukes, barons, and earls.

When the Angel of Death comes strolling through the little shtetl of Tupik one night, two young people will be sent spinning off on a journey through the Far Country. There they will make pacts with ancient demons, declare war on Death himself, and maybe—just maybe—find a way to make it back alive.

Drawing inspiration from the Jewish folk tradition, The Way Back is a dark adventure sure to captivate readers of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and Philip Pullman's The Book of Dust.

Gavriel Savit holds a BFA in musical theater from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he grew up. As an actor and singer, Gavriel has performed on three continents, from New York to Brussels to Tokyo.

Krystal Sutherland HOUSE OF HOLLOW

Praise for A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares:

“[A] bewitching book . . . Sutherland's fertile imagination makes this book a deep dive into the intrica- cies of family, friends, and personal history.”—Kirkus Reviews

Seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow has always been strange. Something happened to her and her two older sisters when they were children, something they can’t quite remember but that left each of them with an identical half-moon scar at the base of their throats.

Iris has spent most of her teenage years trying to avoid the weirdness that sticks to her like tar. But when her eldest sister, Grey, goes missing under suspicious circumstances, Iris learns just how weird her life can get: horned men start shadowing her, a corpse falls out of her sister’s ceiling, and ugly, impossible memories start to twist their way to the forefront of her mind.

As Iris retraces Grey’s last known footsteps and follows the increasingly bizarre trail of bread- crumbs she left behind, it becomes apparent that the only way to save her sister is to decipher the mystery of what happened to them as children.

The closer Iris gets to the truth, the closer she comes to understanding that the answer is dark and dangerous – and that Grey has been keeping a terrible secret from her for years.

*The film of Chemical Hearts, starring Lili Reinhart, is coming later this year. A Semi- Definitive List of Worst Nightmares has been optioned for film as well!*

Krystal Sutherland was born and raised in Townsville, Australia – an inhospitable land where crocodiles, snakes and jellyfish are always on the prowl. She grew up living directly across the road from the local library, and spent almost every day after school (and weekends, too) having adventures between the pages of books (mainly because it was too dangerous to go outside). She moved to Sydney for college (and safety), where she cut her writing teeth as the editor of the student magazine at the University of New South Wales. She kept gathering tales as an exchange student in Hong Kong, and as a foreign correspondent in Amsterdam. Her first book, Our Chemical Hearts, was released in 2016, and was published in over twenty countries.

Sarah Tomp THE EASY PART OF IMPOSSIBLE

"Sweet, complicated, painful, and honest. Explores the way victims can become trapped by abusers. Dives into difficult, legitimate issues with great form." ―Kirkus Reviews

After an injury forces Ria off the diving team, an unexpected friendship with Cotton, a guy on the autism spectrum, helps her come to terms with the abusive relationship she’s been in with her former coach.

Ria Williams was a diver on track for the Olympics. As someone who struggled in school, largely due to her ADHD, diving was the place Ria could shine. But while her parents focused on the trophies, no one noticed how Coach Benny’s punishments controlled every aspect of Ria’s life. The tougher he was, the sharper her focus. The bigger the bruise, the better the dive.

Until a freak accident at a meet changes everything. Just like that, Ria is handed back her life. To fill her now empty and aimless days, Ria rekindles a friendship with Cotton, a guy she used to know back in elementary school. With Cotton, she’s able to open up about what Benny would do to her, and through Cotton’s eyes, Ria is able to see it for what it was: abuse.

Then Benny returns, offering Ria a second chance with a life-changing diving opportunity. But it’s not hers alone—Benny’s coaching comes with it. The thought of being back under his control seems impossible to bear, but so does walking away.

How do you separate the impossible from possible when the one thing you love is so tangled up in the thing you fear most?

Sarah Tomp has an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts.

Emily Balcetis CLEARER, CLOSER, BETTER

“ ... as entertaining as it is important...One of the most important—and engaging— books I’ve read in a very long time.” —Adam Alter, author of Irresistible

When it comes to setting and meeting goals, we think we are closer or further away, and we might handicap ourselves by looking only at the big picture or the fine detail. As social psy- chologist Emily Balcetis explains, there is power in these misperceptions, if we know how to use them. Drawing on her research in vision science, cognitive research, and motivational psychology, Balcetis gives readers an unprecedented account of the perceptual practices that successful people use to meet their ambitions. Through case studies and her own colorful experience, she brings visual tactics to life. Inspiring, entertaining, it demonstrates that if we take advantage of our visual experiences, they can lead us to happier and more productive lives.

Clearer, Closer, Better was published by Ballantine in February 2020 and has sold to: Janua-98/ Bulgaria, CITIC/China, Gimm Young/Korea, ACME/Taiwan. William Bayer THE MURALS

The murals hit me hard. First came terror, then awe. It was only after I’d taken them in that I began to feel their immense power.

In the garret of aboarded up pile on Locust Street, in one of the city of Calista’s less salubrious neighborhoods, freelance photographer Jason Poe stumbles upon, quite by accident, a series of life-size portraits by an anonymous artist. After confirming that the murals are indeed the masterpiece he believes them to be, Jason elicits the help of friends to uncover the mystery behind them. A mystery that ties a husband and wife team of therapists accused of satanism, a hushed-up scandal involving a wealthy Calista family, a series of arson attacks on various buildings around the city, and a patient in a Swiss psychiatric clinic who wiles away the hours creating exquisite rag dolls.

FURIOUS HOURS

“A brilliant take on the mystery of inspiration and the even darker mysteries of the human heart.” —People

Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family mem- bers for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell’s murderer was acquitted—thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the Reverend. Sitting in the audience during the vigilante’s trial was Harper Lee, with the idea of writing her own In Cold Blood, the true-crime classic she had helped her friend Truman Capote research seventeen years earlier. Now Casey Cep brings this story to life. At the same time, she offers a deeply moving portrait of one of the country’s most beloved writers and her struggle with fame, success, and the mystery of artistic creativity.

Rene Denfeld THE BUTTERFLY GIRL

“A heartbreaking, finger-gnawing, and yet ultimately hopeful novel by the amazing Rene Denfeld.” – Margaret Atwood, via Twitter

Naomi made a promise that she would not take another case until she finds the younger sister who has been missing for years. All she has is a memory of a strawberry field at night, dirt under her feet as she ran for her life. The search takes her to Portland, Oregon, where scores of homeless children wander the streets. The sharp-eyed investigator discovers that young girls have been going missing for months, many later found in the river. Naomi is unable to resist the children in need—and the fear she sees in a twelve-year old girl named Celia. Running from an abusive stepfather and an addict mother, Celia has nothing but hope in the butter- flies—her guides and guardians on the dangerous streets. As danger creeps closer, Naomi and Celia find echoes of themselves in one another, forcing them each to consider the question: Can you still be lost even when you’ve been found? But will they find the answer too late?

The Butterfly Girlwas published by HarperCollins in October 2019 and has sold to: Weidenfeld & Nicolson/UK, Payot & Rivages/France, HarperCollins/Holland, Dani Books/Israel. Matthew Fitzimmons ORIGAMI MAN

Rashid Khalidi THE HUNDRED YEARS’ WAR ON PALESTINE

“This is much the best book to appear on the struggle for Palestine. It is masterpiece and a milestone in modern scholarship on the Arab-Israeli conflict. And a must read for American policy-makers in particular.”—Avi Shlaim, author of The Iron Wall

In 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, “in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone.” Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi’s great-great-nephew, begins this history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective. Khalidi traces a colonial war on the Palestinians, backed by Britain and the United States. In reevaluting the forces arrayed against the Palestinians, this offers a new view of a conflict that continues to this day.

The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine was published by Metropolitan/Holt in January 2020 and has sold to: Profile Books/UK, China South Booky/China. 86

THE REVISIONERS

"This second novel from Sexton confirms the storytelling gifts she displayed in her lushly readable debut, A Kind of Freedom .” ―Kirkus (starred)

In 1925, Josephine is the owner of a thriving farm. As a child, she channeled otherworldly power to free herself from slavery. Now, her new neighbor, a white woman named Charlotte, seeks her company. But Charlotte has also sought solace in the Ku Klux Klan. Nearly one hundred years later, Josephine's descendant, Ava, is a single mother. She moves in with her white grandmother Martha, a wealthy woman who pays her grandchild to be her companion. But Martha's behavior soon becomes erratic, and Ava must escape before her story and Josephine's converge. The Revisioners explores the depths of women's relationships. It is a novel about the bonds between a mother and a child, the dangers that upend those bonds. At its core, The Revi- sioners ponders generational legacies, hope, and the undying promise of freedom.

The Revisioners was published by Counterpoint Press in November 2019 and has sold to: Edi- tions Actes Sud/France, Europa/Hungary. Wendy Wood GOOD HABITS, BAD HABITS

“Wendy Wood is the world’s foremost expert in the field, and this book is essential.” —Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power and Passion of Perseverance

Almost half of our actions aren’t conscious choices but the result of our non-conscious mind. We do them by habit. And yet, whenever we want to change something about ourselves, we rely on willpower. What if you could harness the extraordinary power of your unconscious mind to truly reach your goals? Wendy Wood draws on three decades of original research to explain the science of how we form habits, and offers the key to unlocking our habitual mind in order to make the changes we seek. A potent mix of neuroscience, case studies, and experi- ments conducted in her lab, Good Habits, Bad Habits is a comprehensive and deeply practical book that will change the way you think. By explaining how our brains are wired, Wood skill- fully dissects habit formation, demonstrating how we can take advantage of this knowledge and offers real hope for those who want to make positive change.
